Changemakers.net, an Ashoka.org initative, runs competitions to find new ideas for global challenges, or "open sourcing social solutions." Their newest competition is The Power of Us: Re-Imagine Media and their goal is to find the best new ideas for inspiring a better world through media and technology". The Open Debate Engine Project was nominated as a candidate and I submitted an entry which outlines the future scope and plans for this project:
The goal of the Open Debate Engine project is to create a new, open-source publishing tool that will enable organizations or individuals to create and manage structured debates on the policy topic of their choosing.
Please take a look at the entry and let me know your thoughts, either here in the comments section or on the Changemakers.net website.
